So I just figured out all the various 'tronics and tonal tonics that are going into my next project. It's basically a Jerry Garcia/David Gilmour mashup stratocaster :glasses9:. I don't know if there's anybody here who really enjoys playing with guitar electronics, but I'm pretty proud of my diagram, so I thought I'd share. I was also wondering if somebody who's good with wiring could "proofread" the diagram to make sure I didn't design any mistakes before I start a-solderin'...
A little explaination:
-Three single coils (Fender CS '69's), with neck-on switch and series/parallel switch between the bridge and middle
-An active buffer that lowers the impedence, preventing signal loss from long cable runs. (actually an exact clone of the preamp in Garcia's "Tiger" http://www.wald-electronics.com/wald-electronics_shop/tiger_preamp_clone.html )
-An on-board effects loop, ensuring pedals get maximum signal
-Respective bypass switches for the buffer and OBEL
-Kill switch
-Master Volume and Tone
Just a little on the complicated side, but hey, the hardest part's already done! Here's the pictures (I think I missed a switch on the full mockup but you get the idea):
